when this wonderful man died the world lost a true treasure. Ive heard him play personally and no one can keep their feet still. there will never be his equal.
The only reason he always denied being gay was because the lawsuit for libel in England that he won was based on the fact he denied being gay when questioned by the prosecutors, he could never admit to it after because he would be accused of perjury.
He's brilliant. Never heard this piece before. I watched him many times on our old combo B&W Admiral TV, radio, record player (before they were called turntables!). I don't care if the man had sex with polar bears. That's none of my business and totally irrelevant. Hmmm. Polar bears. I'll bet they're good cuddlers. ....
I watched Liberace on the old Curtis Mathis TV when I was a kid. He made piano playing look so easy but he had years of practice and he's still the greatest.
always loved liberaces playing one amazing pianist and a great guy

Elton John is the Lady Gaga to Liberace's Madonna.

I can just imagine Bizet smiling. It really fits the character Carmen's personality.

That's my uncle Bob on drums! As a kid, I'd always heard he'd played with Liberace, but this was a blast to find at age 55! Great posts!

@robisan Try finding anyone today who is as talented and genuine and artistic. Liberace will never have an equal.

What a genious! Updating the classics by marrying them to a popular jazz form, in this case, boogie woogie! For me, the best pianist of all time!
